Chapter 106
Daring not look directly at Jordan's sharp eyes, Wendy twisted her head sideways. Hearing what Jordan said next, she almost went crazy!
"You must be responsible for me!"
......
Twenty minutes later, Jordan stood next to his luxury car downstairs.
Janne, who was gossiping with others, immediately came over. "Hello. How is your talk?"
"Well, aunt, I will ask my parents to propose marriage in two days. You can bring up any requirements if you like." Jordan nodded politely at Janne and left.
Within a couple of minutes, the news that Wendy was marrying a handsome army man traveled far and wide throughout the northern district of Dreles.
Wendy spoke to Lola on the phone, "Lola, I have accepted your brother's proposal. Don't worry!" When she saw her mother coming in with joy, Wendy knew she must have met the man downstairs.
Lola had just returned to the villa. When she heard the good news, all the gloom in her heart was swept away.
"Alright, you are going to be my sister-in-law soon!"
Wendy cannot help but complain, "You silly girl, how did you force your brother to propose?" Shaking
her head, Wendy assured herself that the man should be a straightforward person.
"No, you have wronged me. My brother readily agreed when I touched on that. It seems that he has a very good impression of you." As she hadn't had a good rest for a long time, Lola felt more comfortable in bed than ever.
"Well, enough about me. What about you and him?" Wendy received a message from Lola the day before yesterday, saying that her ex-husband appeared in Ascea.
"Don't mention him. I want to strangle that son of bitch." He had been playing hanky-panky with both her and his fiancée!
Lola was so sleepy that she decided not go downstairs for dinner.
What about Nicole? Mom and dad were not at home, let Joseph take care of her! When it comes to Nicole, this younger brother had been a real help to Lola!
"All right! Then we will talk about it next time. My mother just came back, and I have to speak to her." Wendy hung up the phone in haste, pulled Janne to her, and began to ask what the man had said today.
Lola went downstairs, told Joseph to keep an eye on Nicole, and went upstairs in Joseph's disbelieving gaze. Without thinking about all the messy things, she went straight to bed and fell asleep.
Joseph looked at his little niece, who was playing with the toy, and told her mischievously, "You see, your mother is not as good as me!"
"Uncle, you think too much. Don't you see mommy is very tired?" Nicole retorted in defense of her mommy. Joseph touched his nose and said, "You really have a silver tongue!"
"Uncle, you are not very good with words!" Nicole gave him a disliking look, which knocked Joseph sideways.
In the dead of night, Lola was sunk in sleep. All of a sudden, her cell phone rang like a bomb. She looked at her watch—it was over eleven pm.
An unknown number, who was calling?
"Hello!" The woman spoke in a little husky voice over the phone. It seemed that she hardly woke up from sleep. However, since she was awakened, go ahead!
"Come out. I'm outside your home." The familiar male voice made Lola wide awake.
"I'm sorry, Boss Lewis, I have already gone to bed! I can't go out now! " She really wanted to pretend not to know him, but who let her make a fool of herself to work for the SL Group and be his subordinate!
Was being in bed an excuse for not going out? "If you don't show up in five minutes, I will go straight in." Then the phone was hung up. Coming in?
Mumbling swear words, Lola got up from bed in her pajamas, slipped a jacket on and ran out.
At ordinary times, it took her ten minutes to walk to the gate. And five minutes should be enough if she
ran.
Joseph, who went downstairs for water, saw Lola rushing out like a gust of wind.
"Where are you going, Lola?" Didn't she say that she was tired?
"Nothing important. Mind your own business!" Hardly had her voice faded away, Lola had already scurried away.
Though he didn't wonder what was going on at first, Joseph grew very curious upon hearing her words. Mind my own business? Anything I wasn't supposed to know? What was it? It couldn't be... a man coming for her!
Joseph was ready to stalk her, but it came to him that his elder sister was a grown-up. If he caught her dating with a man, how embarrassing would it be? Well, he decided to go back and continue to play video game.
When he reached Nicole's room, he opened the door and gazed at the little girl in silence. Nicole was sleeping on her side soundly, right hand under her cheek. Attagirl, she did not kick off the blanket!
He quietly closed the door and returned to his room.
Lola, with her hair loose, ran to the gate and took a look at her cell phone—it took exactly five minutes.
The night was rather dark and the Newman Family Manor was very quiet.
Gasping for air, Lola stopped and stared at the Maybach that had no lights on. Let her catch her breath
first. This son of a bitch! Wandering in front of her house in the middle of the night, for god's sake!
The flickering cigarettes made Lola realize that Harry was standing outside the driver's door.
Under the dim light of the street lamp, she could not see his face, but she could tell from his domineering gesture that the man was Harry for sure.
She walked with reluctance and stood still in front of the car, keeping a distance. In the darkness, neither of them spoke. After finishing a cigarette, Harry snuffed it out and flipped it right into the trash can.
He unbuttoned nearly half of his white shirt. She fixed her eyes upon this powerful man, feeling very complicated.
However, she had to admit that his charm was absolutely irresistible! She was only silent for a while and came to him.
"Go with me!" He landed his hand on her shoulder and led her into the car.
Lola freed herself on the spot. "Boss Lewis, what's up?" This man was too shameless. How could he come and take her away after promising Yolanda that he would not be with Lola? What did he take her for?
Harry looked at Lola, who wore a jacket over pajamas. He tried to put his long arm on her shoulder again but was shunned by her.
After several times, Harry lost his patience. He pulled her to himself and threw his arms around her.
Lola could not make out what the man was thinking every day. He cursed her as a vicious woman time and time again, while he kept on pestering her every day.
She was about to speak, when he kissed her on the lips. This son of a bitch! Lola pushed against his chest with both arms, trying to shove him away. No matter how hard she tried, the man did not move.
Under the dim light, the man held the woman in his arms. An approaching military vehicle was flashing its headlights from a distance. Lola thought to herself, "Shoot!" Since big brother had gone to Dreles and the younger brother was at home, it could be no other than her father and mother who appeared so late at the gate of the Newman family...
